Making a Weapon Invisible when Sheathed

Post » Tue Dec 29, 2009 9:22 pm

I was wondering if anyone knew how to make a Weapon completely invisible when sheathed? I have a sword which, for the Lore of the Mod, is meant to be a manifestation of the User's Will-- it exists because their mind gives its physical form. "Sheating" the weapon is meant to be "turning if off" (and thus removing its physical form)-- so, is it possible to make it disappear completely when sheathed?

the only way i can think of.

have an animation that will scale to 0.0001 the sideweapon bone (or backweapon), when a script detects that you have that weapon equipped the animation plays, once you unequip the weapon again, have a second animation that will then scale the bone back to 1.

In theory this would work (weapon would disappear as you slealth it) but others might have a better way.

Isn't this just a summoned weapon with a very long duration?
